fgetpos - get current file position information
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_005_051">&nbsp;</a>SYNOPSIS</h4><blockquote>
<pre><code>

#include &lt;<a href="stdio.h.html">stdio.h</a>&gt;

int fgetpos(FILE *<i>stream</i>, fpos_t *<i>pos</i>);
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_005_052">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
The
<i>fgetpos()</i>
function stores the current value of the file position indicator
for the stream pointed to by
<i>stream</i>
in the object pointed to by
<i>pos</i>.
The value stored contains unspecified information usable by
<i><a href="fsetpos.html">fsetpos()</a></i>
for repositioning the stream to its position at the time
of the call to
<i>fgetpos()</i>.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_005_053">&nbsp;</a>RETURN VALUE</h4><blockquote>
Upon successful completion,
<i>fgetpos()</i>
returns 0.  Otherwise, it returns a non-zero value and sets
<i>errno</i>
to indicate the error.

The
<i>fgetpos()</i>
function will fail if:
<dl compact>

<dt>[EOVERFLOW]<dd>
The current value of the file position cannot be represented correctly in
an object of type
<b>fpos_t</b>.

</dl>
<p>
The
<i>fgetpos()</i>
function may fail if:
<dl compact>

<dt>[EBADF]<dd>
The file descriptor underlying
<i>stream</i>
